CANADA STOCKS-TSX futures point higher start for Canadian stocks

May 12(Reuters) - Canadian stocks looked set to open higher
on Monday as investors set aside worries about a possible
escalation in Ukraine's civil conflict after separatist rebels
declared a resounding victory in a referendum on Sunday.

June futures on the S&P TSX index <0#SXF:> were up 0.21
percent at 0730 ET.

The index fell slightly on Friday as unexpectedly sluggish
jobs data and worries about escalating tensions in Ukraine
spurred declines in the energy and financial sectors.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up 0.33
percent at 0730 ET while S&P 500 futures were up 0.40
percent and Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.56 percent.
